I guess the biggest thing I need to learn is that when I fear that it is at its worst, somehow we always make it through.
Even if I have a tendency to think this is about faith...I think it is more about how hard people work and how short the living wage is to reality.
I am not a "spender" I am a "what does it cost?" nickel-pincher... but daily life of food and gas, as well as the ever growing monthly charges are more than I can keep track of, much less afford.
And yet I am freaking out and trying to sell shit off just to make ends meet for 2 more weeks....welcome to life in poverty
my teen daughter has a habit of heading to the car when we hit the check-stand in the grocery store. She goes to the car because she is worried it will come up "declined" and I will have to put stuff back
How sad is that shit?
